1 Be it known that I, Arie -Insane *W. PAULL,

a citizen of the United States, and a resident of Wheeling, in the county of Ohio and State of West Virginia, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Lanterns, of which the following 1s act description,reference being had to the accompanying drawings, forming this specification, in which- Figure 1 is a side elevation, partially in section, of one form of my improved device attached to one form of tubular lantern; Fig. 2 is a sectional view of Fig. 1; Fig. 3 is a similar View showing the parts in a different position; and Fig. :l is a similar View showing the parts in still another different position. i i

part of My invention relates to animprovement in globe retainer liftlng devlces, and is designed to provide a device of a cheap, simple and eflicient character, in conjunction with theregular globe lifting devices without affecting the operation of said devices. The globe retainer liftingde- Vice is also arranged toraise theretainer clear of the globe and to hold it in its raised position to perlnit the globe tobe swungon its usual pivotal connection with the lan tern.

The

precise nature of my invention will be best understood by reference to the accompanying drawings, which will now be.

described, it being premised, howeverythat various changes may be made in the details h of construction and generalarrangement of the parts without departing and scope of my invention, as defined in the appended claims.

Referring to the accompanying drawings, the numeral 2 designates the usual oil well or pot, and extending upwardly from this oil well are the air tubes 3, to the upper ends of which is connected a dome having an outer shell 4- and an inner shell 5. Connected to the top of the dome is the usual top plate 0. Telescopically connected with rounding the inner shell 5 of the dome the dome is a globe retainer having an inner and outer shell '7 and 8, respectively; the inner shell being telescopically connected with the inner shell 5 of the dome, while the outer shell engages a flange on an annular plate 9 connected to an annular flange on :the lower end of the outer shell 4 of the dome.

The link videdwith a slot 23 to permit the crank 21* to be moved upwardly therein as hereinafter The plate 12 for supporting the globe is pivotally connected at 2t-to a crank 25 which is pivotally connected to brackets 26 and 27 connected to the air tubes 3 on each side of the lantern; The bracket 27 is provided with a plurality of stops 28 which are arranged to be engaged by an operating lever 29 on the crank 25 to retain theglobe,

Y 2' to that shown in from side .toside.

the lantern may globe support, a vertically movable globe 1 retainer,

nection with the crank 25. When the parts are shifted from the position shown in Fig.

Fig. 3, the-crank 21 will pass slightly beyond the center so that the spring 10 will retain the parts in their ele- 'vated positions. Y

If it is desired to raise the globe with the retainer in the usual manner, the operating handle 29 is shifted from the position shown in Fig. 1 to that shown in Fig- 4,, s0 thatgit-will be locked in its lowermostv position, as. shownin Fig. i; This raising of the globe together with its retainer slides the crank 21 upwardly in the slot 23 of the link 22. The retainer actuating mechraised position. when the lever 25 is actuated to lower the globe away from the retainer. In this posit-ionfof the parts, theshaft21=is idle and may be turned by the part .20 without any elfecto-ther. than to swing the link 22 idly The advantages of my invention result from the provision of means for raising and holding the globe retaining device in its elevated position, in combination with a globe lifting device, which is arrangedto raise theglobe and the globe retaining mechanism independent of the retainer actuating It will be readily understood by those familiar with the art that the actuating mechanism disclosed in this application is. applicable to various typesof lanterns other than the tubular lantern shown. Also that the globelifting mechanism at the base of be of various forms. I claim:

1; A lantern having avertically movable mechanism for raising and loweringsaidsupport, globe and retainer, and other mechanism arranged to raise the retainer. independent of the globe and the support, said other mechanism having means whereby it operates to hold said retainerl in. its raised position; substantially as described. v

2. A lantern having a vertically movable globe retainer, mechanism at the base of the lantern for raising the globe with its retainer, and other mechanism engaging the globe retainer for raising it from the globe,

crank supported by the and a connection between said lastment-ioned crank and the lantern when the adapted to raise the globe retainer crank is moved in one. direction, and also to permit the crank to' move with relation thereto when the crank connected to the globe support is manipulated, substantially as described.

4. A lantern having a vertically movable globe supportand a vertically movable globe retainer, means for simultaneously actuating the support and the retainer, an a rotary'de'vice for actuating the'retainer separately from the support; substantially as described. p Y .5. A lantern having a vertically movable lifting mechanism at the base portion of the a. lifting crank for the globe retainer, and a swinging fulcrum for said crank, said fulcrum having means for permitting vertical movement of the crank relatively thereto when the globe and its retainer are raised 6. A lantern-having a vertically movable globe retainer, lifting mechanism at the base portion of the lantern for raising the globe with its retainer, a lifting crank for the globe retainer and. jo-urnaled therein, and a link swung from the upperportion of'the lantern and having a. slotted portion en: gaged by the crank of said shaft, substantially as described.

7. A. lantern. having a vertically movable. globe support and a vertically movable globe retainer, actuating the support and the retainer, and a rotary device for actuating the retainer separately from the support to lock itin its shifted position; substantially as described. In testimony whereof, I have hereunto set my hand. I
